But the highlight is the total amount that the actor will be taking home, and its way more than our imagination!
Previously, several reports claimed that the Salman was getting 6.5 crores per episode, and a two-crore hike per episode. That would mean that the Bollywood superstar will be taking home over 200 crores for the entire season.

According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, Colors channel, which airs the show, and Bigg Boss producers Endemol, agreed to pay Salman an extra two-crore per episode to have him continue as host.
“Salman had made it very clear that he didn’t want to extend his stint on ‘Bigg Boss‘ owing to other film commitments such as the post-production of ‘Dabangg 3‘, and the shoot of ‘Radhe’. However Colors lured him to stay on by adding the zeroes on his paycheque,” said a source.
The source also claimed that Salman gets a bigger paycheck to come back as host every year.
